About A Taste

Heart To Heart

"Dear shaka, we come with Dad again yes," said Wardah who immediately wanted to hold Sakha.

Not yet lifted, suddenly Eza was already beside him taking over Shaka to his carrier.

"Don't take Sakha too often, she's already starting to fill up. How tired is it?" said Eza gently stroked Wardah's shoulder.

She just silently nodded obediently in response to her husband. Instead of going straight away, Eza actually greeted Cak Ibil and invited him to talk. Wardah really feels a sense of awwardness here. Wardah chose to resign by letting Eza talk to Cak Ibil. He does not feel at home if he has to be silent not knowing to try familiar how.

Sakha is invited to sit near the saung/pendopo directly opposite the fish pond. Sakha's gonna play here. At first Wardah was only two with Sakha, suddenly Ning Salma and Gus Hasan joined. How shocked it was when Ning Salma told him that she would be engaged to her Gus.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Really very exciting news. Although Gus Hasan once put his heart on Wardah, but he really has promised not to make Wardah awkward when meeting. So that Wardah can enjoy talking to him too. And Wardah could see that glint of love from Gus' eyes for Ning Salma. Unlike Cak Ibil, Wardah has not seen the taste is lost, that's why he still does not want to meet him.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said a woman.

Unexpectedly, that woman was the woman that Tina had talked about. That said Cak Ibil's wife. But from earlier he waited for Eza to talk, why did Cak Ibil not mention about his marriage? Well, that's not Wardah's domain.

Gus Hasan greeted the woman. They know each other apparently. Be a santri there too. That means he's Wardah's underclassman after graduation and out of devotion. Because if the upperclassman couldn't feel like it.

The woman greeted Ning Salma and Gus Hasan. Then ask permission to speak to Wardah alone. Ning Salma volunteered to accompany Sakha while Wardah was staying.

“Please Mbak, please say anything that becomes a burden. I'm ready to listen if the Mbaknya pleases,” Wardah said gently while gently stroking the back of the woman's hand that lay face down on her lap.

“I actually don't know what the reason Mba Wardah and Mas Ibil divorced first. I didn't dare to ask him that either. I see Ma'am Wardah is currently happy when Mbak is happy with a new family. But when I saw Mas Ibil, why hasn't he moved on from his past? Several times I caught him in the middle of a social media scroll, Wardah said. Even I imitate the style of Madam Wardah in order to get attention from Him,” Humaira said softly and lowered his head not daring to look at Wardah.

“Mbak Mai when to marry Cak Ibil?” ask Wardah, who decided to call her Mai.

It turns out they just got married. A wedding that just started a month ago, but feels like it's been years because there are no seasonings of affection from one side. Sure enough, their marriage was carried out on an arranged marriage from their parents. Mai herself agreed to this matchmaking because she was enamored with the face and personality of Cak Ibil. But he doesn't know if he hasn't finished his past. Again the victim of matchmaking. Not all matchmaking will run smoothly if both parties do not try each other as much as possible to succeed. This can't be allowed. True said Ning Vida, his bad experience used to be a lesson.

Humaira must try to captivate Cak Ibil. Wardah tried to give input to this junior. He does not need to be someone else to captivate his lover. It will be very painful if our lover likes us with the personality of others. Just be yourself and fix yourself. Let our lovers like us for who we are. So that we can enjoy expression without the burden of having to be like other people. Hopefully, Eza also gives a message for Cak Ibil. Don't let Mai experience the same separation as she used to.

“Thank you Ma'am, sorry if I previously made Mbak Wardah uncomfortable when I said earlier,” Humaira said.

“It’s Okay, I pray that your marriage will last. Sakinah maddah warahmah in a moment. Spirit!” wardsah answered with a smile.

They returned to the saung together with a light conversation and a crisp joke so as not to be too quiet. Once there, it turns out that Eza is already with Sakha. That means it's finished talking to Cak Ibil. Humaira had permission to join her friend earlier.
